My wife knows a guy over at Aluminum Associates, they are coming over tomorrow evening to give me a bid.

I wouldnt want you to come all the way over from Lancaster for nothing bro. Im not like my customers rofl - but if things dont work out I will know tomorrow night and will be letting you know.
aluminum associates sounds important!!

Re: Exterior Window Casings


I'm trying to envision what you've described, and it doesn't sound pretty. Try splurging and buying 'vinyl' lineal to make a frame around the window-it has J built in. Have you planned how to connect everything to the brick fascade?

This may sound silly, but have you though about tearing down the brick, putting up sheathing over the interior walls, tyvek and then you can get away with cheap vinyl with the flat wall. While you're at it, insulation in those old walls may make it warmer :-)

Yeah but does it come pre insulated? If it does, then i would be interested in useing it of course. I was just going to use anchors for the channel etc..These old brick homes are not worth the dirt used to build them... I miss framed homes LOL... so easy to replace, fix, remodel any part of it... I just hate brick!!! =)off to do estimates.. later!

Not saying that I wouldn't like to try it, but for arches, I always cut them out of sheet goods.
